All Things Are Possible with God

"I can do all things through Him, who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13

With the new year approaching I have been looking back to this past year and recalling all the challenges, struggles and changes we have undergone as a family.

The challenges range from personal health struggles; crucial decisions made in order to keep my family first; working on this blog; starting a home based business. There have also been countless blessings!

In looking ahead, I still see so much to be accomplished, still so much work to do.

It makes me wonder, at times, HOW? How is it that I can possibly accomplish all that I have been called to?

Over the last few days, by sheer providence I have come across this scripture verse, numerous times:
"I can do all things through Him, who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13

It brings me much consolation to come to the realization that as I attempt to fulfill the vocation God has called me to, He does not abandon me, and He works through me.

I am merely a tool, an instrument designed for His purpose. This is a very freeing thought, to surrender all control to Him.

So it is with a humble heart, that I prepare to enter into 2010 with my feet firm on the ground but my eyes set on Christ. My resolution is the same as last year, to continue to place my life in His hands. I am excited to see what He has in store for us.

Pray you have a blessed New Year, that you too may find peace, consolation and strength in the knowledge that all things are possible with God!

Happy New Year!
